Thread: One bad thing about all this

One thing that concerns me is the fact that the only real way to defeat a defense stack template was with a Combat Medic. With the new changes defense stackers are in PvP heaven. I do hope they devise a way to counter a player with all 3 HAM bars at 3k+ with dodge, melee, and ranged defense capped out. You have less than a 1 in 5 chance of hitting one of these player, and with toughness, mitigation, 80-90% base armor, synth steak, and some dodge food, these guys cant be killed. They are a defensive equivalent to what CM was offensively. Now you want to hear whining. The defense stackers will complain that they "worked" hard to get their template, that it needed a lot of experience to get to where they were. Uh so, a decent defense template takes less than a week to accomplish. Now that they have rightly balanced CM, perhaps a fix on these unhittable templates is due. I did notice that the biggest complainers about Combat Medics were the defense stackers. A few of the people I played with, hated them to no end. Why? Because if there wasnt a CM around, they absolutely ruled the PvP battlefield. No contest. CM comes around they die. Of course they are gonna **edit** about CM's. They can't pwn anymore.

Sure they cant be killed, but they can't do any killing. Stun armor, stun psg, **edit** is a fencer to do. 80+ kinetic for the other 3 melee. Only pikeman with very good mind fire will be viable.

Why is this even on this board? What does this have to do with doctors? This thread should be listed under the Combat Medic Forum, one of the meelee proffession forums, or the GCW forum.


You're right about one thing, there should be a minimum IQ to post on this forum! Hello Mr. Pot, I'd like you to meet my good freind, Mr. Kettle.

We're discussing how our new abilities effect the battlefield...i.e. being a doctor and using our skills. If you really don't like it that much then you don't have to read it, much less post on it. In fact by adding to this you bump it and expose it even more. Now, you were saying something about a Pot and kettle?


As to the question all you need to combat defense stackers is to intimidate and stun them. Intimidate being paramount. You can also pop a synthsteak and the accuracy food + PSG + armor. Usually with a fencer they won't be able to do much. Yes CM are feared by stackers because most people don't know how to combat one and therefore think they're unbeatable. Also you have to remember that not everyone will always have these buffs, they last a short amount of time, until the resources spawn good poisons will still stick most of the time without mitigation. Also, people that group around docs open themselves up to rifleman, pistoleers, carbineers and swordsman, fencers, tka's (not sure on this one) all using area attacks. There is definitely a trade off, but our abilities, much like before, definitley will help you in the fight. It's all about preparation...we prepare the combatant in this way much like buffs. Yes CM's arent' as powerful and yes stackers have an easier time against those not prepared, but all in all things got adjusted just a little bit more.
